Where flavour sparks wonder.Step into a night where the science of food takes centre plate. Hosted in collaboration with Culinaire Magazine, this exclusive, after-hours experience invites you to explore the intersection of taste, culture, and curiosity, through the lens of BANQUET, the immersive touring exhibition that explores the science of food through all five senses.
Begin the evening with a welcome drink and amuse-bouche, followed by private access to the exhibition. Then make your way through five interactive food stations, each one a fusion of culinary craft, global flavour, and scientific storytelling.
MEET THE CHEF
Each station is led by Chef Faizal Abdul Majeed, whose experience spans kitchens from the Middle East to Southeast Asia. His globally inspired menu is designed to surprise, delight, and ignite your curiosity—one bite at a time.
SIP AND SCIENCE
Each dish is paired with a complementary wine selection by Linda Garson, Editor-in-Chief of Culinaire Magazine, known for her deep knowledge and palate. A cash bar will also feature a curated menu of wines, craft beers, and a signature Spark cocktail created just for the night.
